Che Fico, is a California Italian restaurant from Chefs David Nayfeld and Matt Brewer in San Francisco's NOPA neighborhood. The food focuses on Italian cuisine through the lens of California. It’s our vision of Northern California as if it is a region in Italy, our connection to the region, and our love for Italian culinary practices. The rustic, market-driven menu features handmade pasta, pizzas, antipasti, housemade salumi, meat, and fish plus dishes from the Jewish-Roman heritage known as “Cucina Ebraica.” The beverage program focuses heavily on both Italian and Californian wines with a cocktail program that utilizes a variety of spirits, amaros, and seasonal ingredients. Che Fico is a place to gather with friends and enjoy warm hospitality, food, and drink, through an approachable menu and convivial ambiance.

    3 of our main dishes were too salty. I have been to Italy on 6 trips and never encountered food this salty. Pizza crust was also undercooked and too soft - not like Roman pizza at all. The prices of secondi are very high so just be aware of this before dining here. On positive note, our server was very good and attentive. I also like the interior although the hard surfaces contribute to high noise levels.

    We really enjoyed our dining experience here. Our server Wilfredo was so attentive and personable as well as rest of the staff. We ordered a Cesar salad that was very different than a traditional Cesar but quite refreshing. The same goes for the polenta and cauliflower . The nettle pizza was quite tasty too, large enough for two people. The ciabatta bread was served warm and crisp, it was so good. Overall we enjoyed everything including our cocktails. The only thing I would mention is if you are ordering from the ‘secondi’ menu, you will find it quite pricey. We would recommend Che FICO SF and will be dining here again.

    After reading great reviews, it was disappointing. My pasta dish was too salty and bland flavors, another couple shared a pizza that was also too salty and had burnt crust that had to be cut off. The beet salad was good, the o the salad was just ok. Paid $95 for a $30 bottle of wine. No need to hurry back.

    Great starters and desserts, decent wine by the glass. Pastas were only ok. Biggest issue is the cost.

    The food was DELICIOUS!!!! Every dish that we ordered was outstanding. Went there for a friend’s birthday dinner, it was 5 of us. We ordered the focaccia which was divine, also the suppli which my gosh was out of this world. Then we got 3 different pastas: caramelle which had a tangy citrus oily sauce and the pasta filled with veggies just melted in your mouth. The gnocchi with truffle and Parmesan and I can say it was probably the BEST gnocchi I’ve had in a long time plus they were super generous with the truffle so HIGHLY recommend this dish. And lastly we got the Bigoli Nero which was exquisite and probably my favorite dish, and the Dungeness crab meat tasted super fresh. We also got the chicory pizza which was probably my least favorite dish as it didn’t wow me. It was tasty but nothing special about it. And for dessert we got the Tiramisu which didn’t disappoint. It was fresh, tasty, moist and the flavors well balanced. The service was A+ from the host which accommodated us to a table of 5 even when my resy was for 4 so that was amazing! To the servers who were super friendly and attentive, to the sommelier.

    Beautiful space and instagram did not translate in the actual experience. Service was slow and server seemed bored. Did not offer/sell the menu and when we conveyed our choices remarked “having a light evening?” We saw other diners enjoying dishes that we might have liked but were not highlighted or explained. Highlight of the evening was cookie presented although it was presented with a $200 bill for 2 cocktails, one appetizer, one salad, and one pasta.
